Time Mariachis

SPOILER WARNING:

This discussion may contain spoilers!

Just got my case file today. I also decoded the barcodes on the time card (yes, they are actual barcodes!). Judging by searches around here and on the web, I must be the first one to actually do this (at least, the first one to share that I did).

Contents follow in spoiler part.

The 1D barcode - located in the middle of the card - is a Code 39 barcode that reads TIMEMARIACHIS.BIZ. This is an actual domain owned by Telltale, and currently contains a countdown to October 15th, and a MIDI file playing as background music. Wonder what will happen then?The 2D barcode - located at the bottom of the card - is a DataMatrix barcode that reads Propina.

Guys, I don't know if anyone noticed, but the timemariachis.biz-website changed. You have to input your barcode, or something. I don't have my case file here, so I can't check what happens, can someone try to find out what the deal is?

EDIT: Okay, I found my Time Card and entered the code myself. The following message showed: Pacal Votan (this is the wikipedia entry on Pacal Votan I found:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacal_Votan). After that, I had to enter something, but I couldn't figure out what. I entered Pacal Votan and I got a picture of what appears to be the group of mariachis standing in the mariachi spaceship, but part of the picture is missing. Did I just win a million dollars?

I entered the code on my time card (Propina). After copying the code, the decoded text is shown below. You type this into a password field that appears, and hit Enter. You then get a partial image of size 2560x1600, which seems to be part of a wallpaper with the Mariachis.

Note: the barcode entry appears to be broken for all versions on IE, including the current IE8 beta.

I'm guessing the other codes unlock the other parts, so you can eventually create a complete image by working together. This makes sense: I saw someone post a picture of a different time card, and I noticed the bar code was different as well (I didn't decode it then, though).

Here's my partial image. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is the code from the Bosco time card, 1963.1025.

Hey, awesome. I used the Max time card, got a different part of the picture and it fits with your part perfectly. I fitted the two together, I'll upload it right now. If other forum users help out, we should get the complete picture!
